Classified information debriefings
When classified access ends, your security program needs a consistent way to conduct and record the debriefing. Our Classified Information Debriefing Form supports that process and reminds employees of their continuing safeguarding responsibilities.

Understanding NISPOM compliance
The National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual is codified at 32 CFR Part 117. The requirements that apply to your organization depend on its classified work, safeguarding responsibilities, and applicable government guidance. Templates support your work; your organization must customize them and carry out the required security activities.
